> people who think that a city or neighbourhood is "theirs" just because they happen to live there for a long time — without actually owning anything.

Are you saying that only owners can decide what happens on a given neighbourhood? This is a really narrow way to define a community: suddenly people who do not own become second-class citizens.

> While Airbnb violated local laws, I haven't seem them violating laws that I would ever consider moral or justified.

That is not how local laws work. They are contextual, not absolute. And they are definitively not written while thinking "would golergka think this is _cool_?".

> My dog cannot, for instance, nor can my coffee table.

You must be giving them the wrong prompts.

Regressive Hitler?

One man's caveat is another man's nodding approvingly.

Next logical step is filter customization that you carry around and gets applied seamlessly to all videos you post on the platform. Next to that becomes filters that get applied based on consumer preferences: if you have indicated a certain preference for big brown eyes, TikTok might enlarge and darken them for all videos you watch. Argh.

Yes. Mostly his.

Fierce anti-communism led to Franco, Pinochet, and Osama bin Laden. We can call it even.

Reading this I have the impression that John Carmack will be to AI what Jeff Hawkins is to brain research: a far-fetched idea, with potential, maybe too abstract and left-field to yield nothing tangible. Looking at the rest of the industry from the sidelines and (maybe) not being taken seriously by it.

I did not know that. It is amazing how perception of HN changes drastically once you turn this flag on. It is not as extreme as "turning into a completely different website" but certainly it becomes less interesting. There is a sizeable amount of toxicity.

Second entry might get some, too:

"The Brit says, 'I would like to buy this bar, restore it to its former glory and then burn it to the ground'".

GPT knows something we don't.

Prompt: "A Spaniard, a German, and a Brit enter a bar."

Response: "The Spaniard says, 'We must get out of the EU.' The German says, 'We must get out of the EU.' And the Brit says, 'I'll have a pint, thanks'".

I mean, it might not be funny, but _it is_ funny.

Is Dan Brown a postmodernist author these days?
